SIR – It is scandalous in these times of severe cut backs that resources in the police force are still being wasted.
It was recently reported that officers were dispatched by the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary to investigate a case of a pink marshmellow being thrown at a pupil, by a fellow pupil.
Had this been a case of youngsters fooling around with jelly and custard, the incident may have been dismissed as a ‘mere trifle’.
